Toasted Asian Subs

If you have ever been out for a night with me in Calgary you will know I love Toasted Asian Subs. My Dad can be credited with getting me to try one years ago when he would bring random “scary” foods home for the family. He convinced me once that a jalapeno was a type of pickle with disastrous results… me running around the house screaming my head off foaming at the mouth like a rabid banshee. As I get older it turns out that I really enjoy “scary” foods.

My lunch opportunities are pretty limited at work so I decided to make a bunch of subs on Sunday, and then eat them over the week. It was a good plan at first, but the subs ended up being too good to resist and my rations immediately depleted.

Homemade "Subway" Bread

I am a huge Subway fan but since we sold the car and moved in to the parents basement there is no longer a Subway within walking distance. The only way to feed my addiction was to try to make it on my own. Thanks to the wonders of the Internet I found the basics of a Subway bun recipe that I modified to work for me.

Fettuccine with Mushroom, Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce

After a three week trip to Italy we were dying to make some authentic Italian food. Armed with cheese smuggled past Canadian Customs (they took my meat) we settled on a homemade Fettuccine with mushroom, Gorgonzola cheese sauce.  We're familiar with making our own pasta so it wasn't a trip out of our comfort zone. It's amazing how good some eggs, flour and a little moldy cheese can be. The prep time varies but the entire meal can be completed in a couple hours.
